“…Endovascular graft stenting is not suitable in the presence of inadequate landing zone (such as in our patient) and if the pseudoaneurysm is in the proximity of supra-aortic vessels. Thrombin injection and coil embolization may not be an option in cases of large-neck pseudoaneurysms and those in the proximity of the origin of great vessels ( 6 ). Amplatzer occluder devices seem to have broader use to treat these patients as they have different sizes and can be used in large-neck pseudoaneurysm.…”

“…In a case report published in 2002, Chapot was able to successfully exclude an anastomotic FA at the level of the ascending aorta with the use of retrievable coils. 3 Shaji was also successful in excluding an abdominal aortic FA using a plug. 4 Other options may be used to seal an FA of the aorta.…”

Background: To report the case of a rapidly growing aortic false aneurysm because of Q fever infection that was managed by embolization. Case report: An 80-year-old man was admitted to our unit for an aortic false aneurysm from a chronic Q fever infection. During his stay, the aneurysm showed rapid progression necessitating urgent treatment. The patient was unfit for surgical repair; moreover, the location of the aneurysm at the level of the superior mesenteric artery prohibited the use of an endovascular graft. He was managed by coiling of the aneurysmal cavity with multiple detachable coils after positioning of a bare aortic stent to lock the coils and prevent their migration into the aortic lumen. The false aneurysm was successfully thrombosed with no complications. The patient was then put on doxycycline and hydroxychloroquine to target Coxiella burnetii. Conclusions: Aortic false aneurysm coiling is feasible in cases where an endograft is not possible or an open repair is contraindicated. The use of a bare metal stent may help as a barrier to prevent the coils from migrating into the aneurysm and thus avoiding embolization into the systemic circulation.

“…[356] Various interventional methods has been tried with varied success rates to address the condition. [78] We are presenting two cases of ascending aorta aneurysm developed after cardiac surgery managed successfully with placement of ASD occluder, which occurred following coronary artery bypass surgery and following double-valve replacement surgery.…”

Pseudoaneurysm of ascending aorta is an infrequent but well-recognized and potentially fatal complication after cardiac surgeries. The complication can develop early, delayed or late, and the presentation is also varied. We are presenting here two cases of pseudoaneurysm of ascending aorta following cardiac surgery that were successfully managed by the transcatheter method. The first one occurred following coronary artery bypass surgery and the second one occurred following double-valve replacement surgery. The aortic openings of these aneurysms were occluded with 12 mm and 10 mm atrial septal occluders, respectively, with a good outcome. An immediate postprocedure angiogram showed no residual flow into the sac. Six months of follow-up of both cases also showed excellent results.
